4. I agree that Trump is unfit

I started this thread because some people are trying to get people to stop stating that Trump has a mental illness because they think it stigmatizes people with mental illness. However, in doing so those same people are claiming that personality disorders are not really a mental illness, which is false.

What I'm saying is...Yes, Trump is mentally ill and it's OK to say so. We MUST say so because it's actually grounds to remove him from office. At the same time...it is NOT the mental illness that makes him a terrible person...it's that he has never been held accountable in his life so he is also diabolical with no conscience so he is a crook as well. It's those other things that make him bad.

In the process of trying to no stigmatize people with mental illness there was some stigmatizing of people who have mental illnesses most often due to being traumatized as a child and that's just not OK.
